Zeroing In: Free market approaches to the 2050 target


Listen Later

In a new series by the Institute of Economic Affairs, the IEA will explore free-market approaches to achieving the Government's target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

In recent years climate change has been seen as the existential crisis of our time. But with the growing threat of coronavirus and a global health crisis on a scale many of us cannot comprehend, will the battle against climate change retain its urgency?

To achieve Net Zero by 2050, we will need urgent action and the government will have to implement changes that will impact peoples' everyday lives. Some argue that we will need to overturn our whole economic system, but with huge green innovation in the private sector, are free-market solutions the way forward? Or Should we be looking towards a global Carbon tax and other policy-based interventions?

Here to discuss in this episode is Kingsmill Bond, the New Energy Strategist for Carbon Tracker, a financial think tank that carries out in-depth analysis on the impact of the energy transition. Kingsmill believes that this revolution is the most important driver of financial markets and geopolitics in the modern era.
